Honoring Pacifica's Vietnam War Dead

From Bonnie Campbell: "I know there is a Memorial Service at Chapel by the Sea every year to honor the young men killed in Vietnam and they do, what I assume, is a lovely service. Every year, though, no one mentions in the paper the young men by name from Pacifica who died in the war. While in high school, two of them were my friends. There are 11 altogether and I have enclosed their names so they can get some recognition. Thanks for your help."

To Bonnie Campbell or anyone else who can help: I would like to speak with you about these Pacifica Vietnam veterans with hopeful plans to set up a memorial site in Pacifica. I personally know and went to school with three of these fine people. There are 11 people listed from Pacifica. We are looking for information or contacts for two people on the list, Marine PFC George Cabano, Oct. 3, 1968; and Tech 1st Class Charles Wright, Jr., Nov. 18, 1969.
